365 Challenge – April 23, 2010 (UPDATED)

Here’s another example of “rust” from yesterday’s theme. I was driving on an island back-road a couple of months ago and I saw what appeared to be several old vehicles. I stored the location into memory for a visit another time. Yesterday, April 23rd was that time. I found a driveway that looked as though it might provide access to the area in question and took my camera for a walk. I should mention that I did not see any “keep out” or “private property” signs, and if I had I would have heeded their warning. The sight is a veritable treasure trove of old abandoned vehicles. I didn’t count but there were probably 20-25 vehicles, primarily military vehicles, and old trucks. There was also a late 40’s Packard, an old tow-truck, and LOTS of parts, wheel and tires. As I have mentioned before, I love old cars and truck, especially old abandoned ones, slowly disappearing back into the earth and there were plenty. The one pictured above was quite interesting as I have not seen anything like it before. I was able to look inside and noticed that all of the writing and military style ID plates were all in German. I could not find any markings to determine the make, but it was pretty cook looking. I’ll be doing some research to see if I can figure out what it is.
